I was reading this post about a Twitter/identi.ca client and it got me thinking about what I want in a Twitter/Identi.ca client. I want some of the things he wants, such as:

• I want to use a single client to manage all my tweeting and denting without having to login and out.
• I want to be able to tweet/dent in one place and have it show up in both by default
• … but be able to direct it to just one location if appropriate, on a tweet-by-tweet basis.

But I want the following as well:

• OS X-native app with a standard UI. Please use as few custom widgets as possible.
• Don't show in the Dock. I want a menu icon.
• Posts from both services mixed in the same list. Some people post to both, I'd like duplicate detection so that I don't see two of the same message (once from each service).
• I want replies to go only to the service the post came from (but to both services if the post was on both)

If iTunes 9 blinded you with its white background in Grid view, then you'll love iTunes 9.0.2. Apple has added the ability to switch to a dark Grid view. Here's how to enable it.

Go to the iTunes menu and choose the "Preferences..." command (Edit>Preferences... in Windows). Look for the "Grid View" option about two-thirds of the way down the Preferences window (It's on the right-hand side). Change it from "Light" to "Dark" and then press the "OK" button to save these preferences.

I went to see "The Box" last night with Josh. I don't recommend it. The suspense and thriller parts were great. The plot, however, left something to be desired. Also, there were many questions that were unanswered at the end of the movie. It just kept getting worse and worse until the credits rolled and I was more confused than ever.

I was at a place called Coffee Talk in Clare, Michigan today and decided to have a salad for lunch. Let me tell you, the Caribbean Salad was delicious, if misnamed. It was romaine lettuce topped with grilled chicken, red onion, pecans, canned peaches, and chevre (goat cheese) with a citrus onion dressing. Fresh peaches would have been better but the salad was still delicious! I want to go back and try all the other stuff on their menu, now!

Today, I turn 26. I have a feeling that this will be a boring birthday. Hooray
